Rocky Mountain National Park invites the public to attend two special Memorial Day Weekend evening programs offered at the Beaver Meadows Visitor Center at Rocky Mountain National Park.  On Saturday, May 26, at 7 p.m. join park ranger Steven Lambert for Rocky Rocks. The story of Rocky’s rocks is the foundation on which all the wonders we see are built; the mountain peaks, valleys, lakes, forests, wildlife, weather and people.

   On Sunday, May 27, at 7 p.m. the National Park Service is honored to have the Navy Band Northwest Brass Quintet perform to honor veterans over Memorial Day weekend.  Presenting the finest in brass chamber music, the Navy Band Northwest Brass Quintet performs over one hundred concerts, ceremonies, and outreach events each year. With an area of responsibility from "Alaska to Nebraska," musical variety from ancient renaissance to modern jazz, and technical virtuosity from the trumpets all the way down to the tuba. Their musical selections inspire feelings of patriotism to celebrate Memorial Day.
 
   These programs are free and open to the public. Space is limited. For more information about Rocky Mountain National Park please visit www.nps.gov/romo or call the park’s Information Office at [phone].
